Policy Making Futures

This module is based on the premise that evidence-based policy is at the core of all reform, and that quality government and public policy emerges from, and is formed in, the analysis of key internal and external forces. This module offers you a foundation in the principles, knowledge and skills needed for policy formulation, strategy, implementation and review. It focuses on contextualising key policy frameworks while exploring their impact, real-word challenges and opportunities. Accompanying the two workshops are pre-readings and a reflection task, helping participants develop a contextual understanding of the topics explored in class. Conceptualising the module, participants will complete both an individual and group assessment – exploring a policy challenge and developing a solution.
